What is the deal with the US soccer team and west Va.

Would Neil Diamond song they coming to America more appropriate? Does the state even know what soccer is?

Congratulations BOV and Leaders

You did it and the forward thinking is so exciting to be part of! Let's all contribute to the success! Go Hokies

We have a good track record .With the dismissal of ROC.

Cracks may be developing with Hokie reorganization .I think we will find out more Monday and Tuesday. I am very anxious to find out.

Great news !

Probably will be remembered, as he was at Cincinnati , as the most ineffective AD at VT .

Is Tim Sands coming today to present

His thesis on college athletics??? Goodness, the malaise that has transform VT athletics is no question a thesis in itself!! Everyone enjoy!!!

Simply the lack of leadership and vision in Administration

Why so poor! Whats going on with the reorganization????Fools Gold ???? Perhaps???

How about a coach been there only one year !

And compare what we have ? Babcock very happy with the direction of the program ! đŸ¤Ģ

Just think ????

W Babcock very happy where the program is heading ???? Well where is MY today during March Madness Where was MY last year during March Madness , lastly Where was Mike Young two years ago during March Madness . Remember, our staff is well compensated!!! Lastly, are you very satisfied where the program direction is going?

Boy we definitely have an issue with where we want to be in Basketball.

VCU new coach wins the A10. Optics are there . Vt has an issue with Leadership to establish a basketball program. We keep saying NIL NIL NIL is the issue . VCU never missed a beat and keeps getting to the NCAA . I'm not saying fire MY but am saying we need a top notch AD that can build , mobilize the VT nation. Babcock not the guy! Last week Babcock stated he is very satisfied where the basketball program is. Keep ramping the pressure on leadership change!!

VT better find away to compete!

Numerous Messages here indicate we cannot compete in basketball within the ACC because of blah blah; if we can't compete , we need to have a serious discussion the viability to be in the ACC. Going to take great leadership to transform this Institution. It's time! When a team punt to not play in the NIT we see a vacuum in leadership. When you look at UVA you have great leadership seeking solutions. Results are showing! UVA AD a leader from a proven winning program Georgia. Stop the BS about $$ invested at UVA, time for new leadership to energize this fan base. We call ourselves the flag ship program in the State Not so fast! Let's make changes Tech!!

If MY had 12 to 15 million

I am not too sure he is capable of evaluating talent.

They have a tremendous fundraising arms in the AD department

Have to organize to be successful!! Takes great leadership and innovation to organize around fundraising! Major part of Athletics.

Well all I say about the Basketball Program

When Babcock stated last week he was very happy with the direction of the basketball program, then I knew this program will live in internal mediocrity!

What's going on with the reorganization?

When will VT let Babcock go? No changes until Babcock goes!!! When the AD states he likes where the program is heading ; says alot about why we continue to flounder. Leadership must change .

Well I know we are in trouble

When Babcock did a shout out about how he likes how the program is heading! Bless his heart so clueless! Another Babcock moment! His legacy continues!

When was the last time you have heard Babcock talk

About the Hokie Club ? Soliciting funding Does the organization have any fun raising apparatus ? Clearly lack of leadership. We have team up there not engage just reading TSL everyday! When will Leadership change ?

We do need new leadership in Athletics!

Look at UVA ! Carla clearly has walked all over Babcock . She fought and build : 1) Football transformation 2) Basketball men transition from Bennett to Od 3) UVA women's Basketball 4) Women's Softball 5) Baseball transformation from a previous historical coach l to now. Top 5 program again! Just incredible what she has done at UVA Look at VT : Do we ever hear from Babcock and Leaders . Very sad ! God bless Franklin he is trying and hope he doesn't wake up to say I can't do it any more: Again we need big changes : Need new vision , new energies, leadership! My hats off to UVA leadership building a formidable Athletic Department!! Someone needs to do a study VT athletics vs UVa , two different approaches and why one excelling other one continues to get out of its own way. I thought we would see changes faster with Franklin entrance but it hasn't happened! Culture is entrenched, control from the few is entrenched . Will take a Herculean effort to transform VT.

Help me out ? Didn't we lose to them ?

Why should an ncaa team lose to WF ? Oops we forget to look at the overall performance this vt team this season in the ACC. Let the season play out ! No one is firing MY Renewing Contract ? Different subject!

With upgraded talent this year .

Has not demonstrated he cannot coach with better talent. In fact looked at the results of players moved on from VT. Very successful! I will hold ! No extension Don't fire a nice guy but let it run out and begin the process to figure how to make this program successful. Stop looking for a bargain and a diamond in the rough.

For all saying Tech will never compete in basketball .

When was last time VT had a p1 coaching staff. VT looking for a diamond in the rough. (A bargain) If we are saying we cant compete, stop funding and paying a Wofford coach $4.0 mil a year and divert resouces to ???? Ok volleyball.lol Gee . We are feeling the impact of weak Leadership and Vision from the AD to BOV in Athletics. Nc state fires a coach with a buyout of $ 10 million , hires a terrific coach and can maintain a tremendous programs in all sports. Are we saying we cannot compete in resources with the likes of nc state.? If so, we seriously need to get out of ACC and move to ODU level of support . Of course I dont believe it. All about Leadership ! In brace change and communicate our Vision! The sky will not fall without MY.
